Nothing out of the ordinary, except for the dozens of Bikers sitting in front of me, some young some old. I felt a little intimidated. Wreck sat beside me and called for someone to take our orders. Out walked five of them including Bre, Molly, Molly's boyfriend, actually two of Molly's boyfriends and a nerdy brown haired boy with the goggles to match his suspenders.

Jayden and the two other boys working looked like they were going to be sick. Bre and Molly walked right over and took orders, no doubt considering who's kids they are, people like these folks are what they're used to. Jayden tried to be okay with them. The other two boys were stuttering messes. Until Jayden Made his way around to me.

"V?" He questioned. Blinking in hopes he didn't miss title me.

"Yes, Jayden?" I hope I didn't. Miss title him either.

"What can I get for you and your friends?" He didn't quite know what to call them.

"A chocolate peanut butter milk shake and one of those cheese burgers the lot of you rambled on about last night."

"Sure how about you sir?" Jayden was much calmer now. I was glad to see it.

He walked around and caught the orders the other boys were terrified of taking. They seemed in shock at how he recovered so well. He was giddy almost knowing Molly was watching him the whole time. Molly and Bre made a bee line for me when the noticed me. They made sure Jayden got our orders.

Now Molly is the type of girl that dose exactly what you least expect. She jumped up on the table and shouted for them to quiet down.

"If we haven't gotten your order please make it known." She stepped off the table and one lady raised her voice in the silence and one of Molly's boyfriends walked over and took her order.

As we waited on food Wreck began to point everyone out to me and tell me their names. I wrote down their names and something about them that was unique to help me remember who was who.

"Are you actually writing this down?" He chuckled. After he left, I began to write everything down terrified I'd forget things. Forget him.

"Yes, I want to remember everyone and their name."

"Your still an odd one." He laughed. That I am.

"Wreck you gonna introduce us to this gal or are you gonna keep flirting with her?" A voice had penetrated our conversation.

"Ah shut up mate, I'll introduce her in a moment." He was flustered once again like he'd been in the store. Wreck was at least six years older than me. He was kind hearted but was very much so a smart Alec. I knew they were right when they said he was flirting but I pretended not to notice.

You know better than anyone that he's flirting

"As you know we need a new leader as we all know what's happening with bulldog." They all nodded "He asked that his brother or Neice took his place before his cousin had an option, we all agreed with him, I got in contact with his niece Violet." He paused and looked around.
"That said everyone say hello to Violet."

Jaws dropped, some cursed, others had no visible reaction. I was terrified. I had the feeling they hated me. However I brushed off the fear quickly. Moments later a few began to whoop in excitement or something. As they calmed down they began bringing out food one table at at a time everyone got back to their conversations. Wreck smiled at me weakly.
